<p>The worldwide water issue is mostly caused by water pollution, which poses serious risks to human health and environmental sustainability even with tremendous technological breakthroughs. Many inorganics and newly discovered organic contaminants, including heavy metals, synthetic dyes, petroleum derivatives, hazardous compounds, and industrial effluents, currently make up the bulk of waterborne pollutants. Highly effective adsorbents materials must be developed in order to remediate these contaminants effectively. Among many different types of absorbent present in the current scenario, Metal organic framework (MOF) has emerged as a particularly promising class due to their exceptional physicochemical properties. MOF being a porous material, having an exceptionally large surface area of about 1000 to 10,000 m²/g and precises making it to easily remove the water contaminants. These unique properties make MOFs a highly promising material for water treatment applications. By incorporating MOFs into traditional water filtration system, the effectiveness and selectivity of contamination removal might be greatly increased. In this review the detail characteristics and performance of various MOF-based composites, along with their specific applications in water treatment, are discussed. The study also addresses potential changes to enhance stability and scalability, future possibilities, and the main obstacles to the widespread use of the MOFs for effective and sustainable water filtrations system.</p> Graphical Abstract <p></p>
